I play on Pro default basicly.

I play at a realistic pace, and also work the ball around to everyone so I've found that playing on Pro really gives me realistic stats, and a fun challenge without me going 82-0 lol.

I am playing an 82 game season too. Nothing else feels real to me, and if it doesn't feel real then I don't stick with it.

Intro
In my Bucks association I want to keep and build around Jennings, Ellis, and Ilyasova creating my own big 3. I will develop them and try to put the best pieces around them to win. I will sign Ellis ASAP and after the season I will re-sign Jennings matching any offer he is given.

I like the Jennings and Ellis against the world plot so I don't want to add any more big names or stars, rather good role players who give me some versatility.

Trades:
--Milwaukee gives D. Gooden and my 2014 1st to Pheonix for J. Dudley and their 2014 2nd round pick.
*I had to get rid D. Gooden and his contract. Dudley becomes my 6th man giving me a good shooter to come in for L. Mbah a Moute who has no shot.*

-- Milwaukee gives S. Dalembert(74) and B. Udrih(68) to Cleveland for A. Varejao(73) and D. Gibson(60).
*Dalembert is a 74 overall and Varejao is a 73, both are similar players but I like Varejeo better, he is more of a banger down low and is very scrappy. Gibson gives us a good pure scorer off the bench.*

Roster:
PG- B. Jennings 80 (16.8ppg/4reb/8.6ast)
SG- M. Ellis 86 (23.5ppg/4reb/7.6ast)
SF- L. Mbah a Moute 68 (4ppg/7.4reb/1blk)
PF- E Ilyasova 75 (16ppg/5reb)
C- A. Varejao 73 (10 ppg/10reb/1.6blk)
6- J. Dudley (SF) 75 (11ppg/4reb/1blk)
7- E. Udoh (PF) 70 (3ppg/4.7reb)
8- D. Gibson (PG) 60 (6.4ppg/4ast)
9- M. Dunleavy (SG-SF) 65 (4ppg)
10- L. Sanders (PF-C) 65 (1ppg/3reb)
11- J. Henson (PF) 62 (2.4 ppg/2reb)
12- T. Harris (SF) 67 (1ppg)
Res- M. Daniels (SG) 63

Offense-26th
Defense-13th
Overall- 25th

Team Financials
Cap Room: -785K
Tax Room: 11.48M
Hardcap Room: 31.17M

Schedule, 6-2 playing a 29 game season
W -- Hornets(1-2) @ Bucks(0-0): 77-102
L -- Heat (1-0) @ Bucks(1-0): 112-79
W -- Bucks(1-1) @ Trail Blazers(1-2): 102-94
W -- Bucks(2-1) @ Kings(3-2): 105-90
L -- Bucks(3-1) @ Lakers(4-0): 82-115
W -- Pistons(2-2) @ Bucks(3-2): 83-107
W -- Bucks(4-2) @ Celtic(3-2): 101-92
W -- Spurs(1-2) @ Bucks(5-2): 107-119
-- Bucks(6-2) @ 76ers(6-1): NEXT

Ellis leads the Allstar voting in the East for guards ahead of Wade by only 800 votes, Jennings 7th for the guards in the East. That last win over the Spurs Ellis, Jennings, and Iylasova each had 28 points, this was not intentional I just thought it was cool.

Just finished my first game and beat the Knicks: 119-102

The Good

We are a good 4TH quarter team ( 1 game I know still early to tell )

Good Rebounding team Overall

Marshon Brooks is a beast when HOT

Solid Defensive team ( can get better tho )

Williams is my go 2 guy when we need a sure basket


The Bad

We NEED better transition Defense

Bench was HORRIBLE ( except Brooks)

Need BETTER defense inside

Brook Lopez only had 8 rebounds ( Was in foul trouble so I guess I can let it slide this game )

Perimeter Defense NEEDS work

[majorstats]

Waddup folks

Still tryna decided between sacramento or Washington. I like both teams because they are young with potential.
Charlotte Orlando and Phoenix are also in the running.

Sac gives me a good group of talent that's lost. Washington gives me a guard with potential needing help

Great looking association man. Looks like you are getting solid production out of Andy V at the center spot. Dudley is having a good year off the bench too. Mbah a Moute is rebounding well too. I may try to work Mbah a Moute back into the rotation a little more in my association. Once I bumped him from the starting lineup, I found that he doesn't play that much. He really is solid at what he does well, but his offense is terrible lol. I am about to start a game against Brooklyn. I'll see if I can work him into my rotation more.

That is awesome about Ellis leading the all-star votes too. Jennings just jumped D Wade in mine too. I am hoping to keep this up so that Jennings can have a good chance at bringing home the MVP award. He has led his team to a 22-4 start, and is leading the league in points, assists, and steals, so I'm thinking he is the favorite so far lol.

Keep us posted, it is looking like a great season is shaping up for you too.

Its more work for me, but, I like to keep it as realistic as possible and I'll occasionally throw in some funky twists.

I turn CPU Trades off until 1 week before the trade deadline that way they can only waive/sign players
